Environment

So the final project in Term 2 was to make 3 environments as a group.  The environments were a graveyard, a house (exterior) and the inside of Beatrice's room.  These were the concept art that we had s a basis for our project. (click to see full size image)

The graveyard and the house were both created by my friend Tyler who is a super talented artist. Whenever I have a question regarding design or art in general I go to him (he has a fine arts background). The third was made by another member in his group (also a pretty sweet image).

Below is my group's final video presentation of these three environments. You will notice that our trees and bushes are very stylized as we tried to keep with the designs given to us. Whether they work or not is up to you.



So what did I do in this project?  Our group of 8 was divided into 3 sub groups - one for each environment.  I worked on the graveyard scene. My job was to model the hero gravestone (the main cross gravestone - called "hero" because it is the main focus of the shot).  I also built the proxy geometry for all the gravestones (there are only 5 shapes that were randomized in the scene and altered slightly). I completely finished (finalized model, shaded, textured) one of those 5 while the other 4 were finished by someone else.  I also did the layout of the graveyard (put the other props in the scene), made the bushes, built the fence and gate, did the brick pathway, put in the grass, and lit the scene (I did a lot on this scene).  I also did the camera moves in the first two scenes (the graveyard and the house).  In the other two environments I didn't do that much. I did the bushes in the House Exterior portion and helped a bit in troubleshooting the other two scenes.

So here is a link to close up stills of some of the stuff I modeled (Click here)

Hope you guys like it. Peace.
